re: Percentage chance that a 9-3 Texas gets in?

Will 9-3 texas get in over 10-2 Vandy?

It seems impossible at this point but it is not, it is merely improbable and in the world of corporate ownership of what we see on our televisions that translates into what does ESPN need to do to get Texas into the CFP?

Barring a loss to A&M don't bet against the network to get them in.

If Vandy is 10-2, and Texas is 9-3, they aren’t passing us.

Not sure why they are so belligerent about this. Texas will probably be in CFP for the next 100 years. They can miss this year.

Here’s a suggestion- can we have a separate board just for Texas and A&M to yell at each other.

That’s with a win against AM

How do they not get in? They have a generational talent at QB. This was determined before the first game this year.

I’m in favor of non-sec teams getting the nod over a three loss Texas. That being said, what’s the deal with ya’ll shaming the Florida loss so much? They’ve played four quarter games with Georgia, Texas, A&M, and Ole Miss. Is it that inconceivable that Florida could have beat a Texas team whose QB was struggling to throw screens at the time? A Texas team who had no LG at the time? A Texas team who had one semi-healthy RB? A Texas team who was missing two starting DBs? A Texas’s team who was averaging over 90 yards of penalties at the time? Week 5 Texas was a mess. We aren’t so much a mess anymore, but it’s still obvious how flawed we are. We still rack up penalties. We still drop balls. Our coverages aren’t tied properly to our fronts consistently. Our backs are still banged up running on pitch counts. Could we clean this stuff up with a month to practice? Who knows, Ohio State basically installed a brand new offense before the playoffs last year.

Florida is just a bad loss. Look at their record. If A&M had lost to Arkansas that would have been a bad loss. It isn't all that hard to see if you take off the SEC glasses.

Sark is on the hot seat in Austin, according to the media. This does not point to Texas as being in the playoffs. A&M could fall all the way down to # seven or eight with a loss but entered lock status this week. ND is ND. The committee has already shown that they don't care who you beat. They do care who you lose to and how

t is the other way around...

Another team with less loses but isn't as good as them.

Tennessee spent years playing teams with more wins who were often ranked while we usually had 2 more losses than said team in bowl games. These supposedly good teams sucked.

Football isn't a fair sport when it comes to schedules and conferences despite the fact that people want to pretend that it is. There's nothing special about having a great record when the competition you play is weak.

Zero. You can lose, but you can’t get embarrassed if you have more losses than other teams you’re competing with. They got destroyed by Georgia, which eliminated them. If they lost a one score game, things might be different.
